It has worked this way for YEARS. Is your environment set up with
working forward and reverse DNS?
I just tested it again with F35 and it got the correct hostname from
reverse DNS *unitl* the first time someone logs in. Then it sets the
hostname to "fedora" based on the lines in /etc/profile:
HOSTNAME=$(/usr/bin/hostnamectl --transient 2>/dev/null) || \
HOSTNAME=$(/usr/bin/hostname 2>/dev/null) || \
HOSTNAME=$(/usr/bin/uname -n)
export PATH USER LOGNAME MAIL HOSTNAME HISTSIZE HISTCONTROL
I made a quick video of the difference between F35 and RHEL 8.5.

Skip to about the 1:30 mark to see the difference between F35 and RHEL
8.5. I've seen the hostname assigned by reverse DNS with every version
of RHEL since at least RHEL 4. In fact, I don't recall it working
otherwise ever.
